Terms

These are the terms for reading Arcana Mentis. They are short on purpose, and they match what the site actually is.

Please read them as a house rule, not as a product agreement. Nothing here is for sale, and there is no account to accept.

Agreement

By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please leave. You do not need an account to read, and we are not asking you to tick a box we do not have.

Educational content

Arcana Mentis offers education about self-mastery of one’s own mind. It is not medical, psychiatric, psychological, or therapeutic advice. It is not a clinic. We do not diagnose you. We do not offer treatment, and we do not promise a cure.

Mental health and crisis

Pages about depression, loneliness, and related subjects are educational. They sit beside care. They are not a substitute for it. Never stop a prescribed medicine, including a prescribed antidepressant, because of something you read on this site. Talk with a clinician about any change in care. Those pages have not had a medical review. Please do not treat them as if they had.

If you are in crisis in the United States, call or text 988, or go to 988lifeline.org. Do not use the contact page as an emergency line. It cannot answer one. There is no public inbox yet, and a page is not a person on the phone.

Manifestation, hypnosis, meditation, and mind control

Nothing on this site guarantees a result. Manifestation, as this house uses the word, is not magic. It promises no income and no supernatural outcome. Hypnosis and mind control here are for yourself only. We do not teach you how to control, persuade, manipulate, or hypnotize another person. Meditation is not a cure. If a practice makes your distress worse, stop it and seek care.

Shop

A catalog preview may appear in the shop. Nothing is for sale yet. There is no checkout. Any price you see is planned only, not an offer you can accept. When a shop actually opens, purchase terms will be added to this page before you are asked to buy.

Intellectual property

The writing and the design of this site are © Arcana Mentis. Please do not republish whole essays without permission. Ordinary personal reading is welcome, and so is printing a page for your own use. A short quotation, with credit and a link back, is a neighbourly thing. Copying a room and presenting it as your own is not.

No warranties and limitation

The site is offered “as is.” We do not warrant that a page will be complete, current, or suited to your particular situation. Education can be worth reading and still be the wrong tool for a day that needs a clinician.

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. A particular state will be named when one is chosen. Until then, this is a general United States placeholder. We are not stating a state of incorporation, and we are not giving a street address, because we will not invent either one.

To the extent the law allows, Arcana Mentis is not liable for loss or harm that comes from relying on these pages instead of professional care, or from using the site at all. Some places do not allow certain limits. Where that is so, the limit applies only as far as the law permits.

Changes

We may update these terms. The new version will be posted on this page. If you keep using the site after that posting, you accept the updated terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using the site.

Contact

Questions about these terms go to the contact page. There is no public inbox yet, so a letter still has nowhere to land. When an address is written there, that is where terms questions will go. This page is not a way to reach anyone in an emergency.
